Resolving problems through out your painting process.
It’s easy to lose your sketch while you’re painting, something you need to continually train yourself to check throughout your painting process. This is why standing back, checking your work, looking at it in a mirror or even taking a photo can help you to see more, by separating yourself from it.
Having a clear reference also helps and looking at this just as much or more while you are working.
With this piece I’m working on - I could see it was off and I wasn’t able to get it back, I kept reworking it and ended up just continually fixing mistakes so I redrew the placement to give me a clear path.
